Is that the smell of 90s nostalgia? A review of Prophet #21 @ Newsarama

Prophet_21_72

So last week a comic about a Spider-Man clone came out and this week, it's the return of the posterboy of 90s comics Prophet.

Instead of picking up where the series left off in 1997 (at least that’s the closest I can figure out to when a new Prophet comic book was last published) with its hyper-muscular bodies and headwear out of some medieval sport, Graham and Roy begin a brand new story and a brand new character. He may share a name with the old Prophet but this one looks more like an astronaut in an orange jumpsuit. Imagine more Charleton Heston in Planet of the Apes as a stranger in a strange world and that’s the story that Graham and Roy are telling. Prophet wakes up 10,000 years in the future and has to survive long enough to find out what his mission in this world is. Maybe there will be ties to the old character later on but this issue starts out fresh, like we’re seeing a new character in a new world.
